Advancing Vaccines in the Genomics Era

October 31-November 4, 2013
Windsor Barra Hotel • Rio de Janeiro • Brazil

Part of the Keystone Symposia Global Health Series, supported by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.

Abstract Deadline:July 30, 2013

Brazil Student/Postdoctoral Fellow Registration Subsidy Deadline:August 20, 2013. Here

Discounted Registration Deadline: August 29, 2013. 
Save US$150 by registering by August 29, 2013 and submit an abstract for our second conference in Brazil, to be held October 31-November 4, 2013.

We are also pleased to offer a limited number of registration subsidies to students and postdoctoral fellows in Brazil who would not otherwise be able to participate (see here for details).

The conference will:

 * Convene with a keynote address by Rino Rappuoli
of Novartis Vaccines and Diagnostics on "Designing Vaccines for the 21st Century Society" on November 1, followed by four days
of stimulating plenary sessions, workshops and poster sessions;
 *   Explore the potential of systems biology in vaccine design and development, as well as genomic and structural approaches to antigen and adjuvant discovery, design and validation;
 * Provide a rare opportunity bringing together immunologists, vaccinologists, virologists and systems biologists from academia, industry and government to accelerate progress in vaccine development.

Full program here, submit an abstract and register.
